Nuclear Power Plants

Protect Sites from Intrusions and Avoid Liability

Nuclear power plays a key role in the energy production capabilities of many countries. As the world shifts towards a low-carbon future, the importance of emission-free nuclear power will likely increase. However, nuclear power plants, of all sizes, from traditional multi-reactor facilities to new micro-sized small modular reactors (SMRs), require the highest levels of physical security to prevent unauthorized intruders. Intrusions may range from simple trespassing to sophisticated terrorist attacks. The attacks themselves may come from a variety of directions – land, sea, or even the air. The threats are real and the consequences are severe. Multi-layered, field-proven security solutions are required.

Physical Security Measures

In North America, standardized security measures result from agreements between the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the North American Aerospace Defense Command and help support the protection of this critical infrastructure. Measures include: 

  • perimeter security protection
  • security personnel and management
  • perimeter security monitoring and surveillance
  • intrusion detection facilities
  • emergency preparedness and procedures
